You and fellow IPers may want to check out the Verified Voter Foundation and CPSR-run "Election Incident Reporting System" (https://voteprotect.org/epc/index.php). This is where phone calls to the massive People for the American Way "Election Protection" (http://www.electionprotection2004.org) are being logged, disseminated and operators either answer questions live or have election observers dispatched to the scene.
At the moment it's still a work-in-progress but it appears they're already tracking incidents in "early voting" and pre-election locations. For instance, here's the incidents in the aforementioned Franklin County, Ohio which has 13 reported incidents:

Check out Miami-Dade County:https://voteprotect.org/epc/index.php? display=EIRMapCounty&state=Florida&county=Miami-Dade&cat=ALL&tab=ALL
or Atkinson County, Georgia which seems to have something interesting happening to Hispanic voters:

This will be fascinating to watch - I'm volunteering as they not only need people to staff phones, polling locations and be mobile, but technical experts as well from PHP programmers to database wonks to researchers.
